With all due respect Harry, you do seem a bit sensitive about it. I
was reassured however when you said it can't happen to you.

NOYBY, Shortwave and I have all been hung up on crab pots or lobster
pots at one time or another, so it's good to know that someone has
figured out how to avoid them.


I've been hung up on one, too. But I have as much small boat-salt water
experience as anyone posting here, and I don't see it as an issue with
the boat I just bought. Of the rough water issues I cannot easily
control by boatmanship or reflexes, I am more concerned about taking a
greenie over the bow and the amount of time it takes to get the possibly
huge volume of water out of the boat. If I were concerned about the
transom on the new Parker, I'd install a splash board.

It's kinda funny to read this stuff here, especially from the dryland
boaters. The "Euro" transom on most small boats or the "full transoms"
with motor wells on most small boats aren't going to keep those boats
from swamping by waves coming over the transom. The water will pour
aboard and just keep coming, and the little bitty drain holes at the
transom aren't going to help.
